Hands Make Things Happen Exciting

More From Emeril Lagasse

I think i’m greedy, but i’m not greedy for money – i think that can be a burden – i’m greedy for an exciting life. i want it to be exciting all the time, and i get it, actually. on the other hand, i can find excitement, i admit, in raindrops falling on a puddle and a lot of people wouldn’t. i intend to have it exciting until the day i fall over.

When you know that something's going to happen, you'll start trying to see signs of its approach in just about everything. always try to remember that most of the things that happen in this world aren't signs. they happen because they happen, and their only real significance lies in normal cause and effect. you'll drive yourself crazy if you start trying to pry the meaning out of every gust of wind or rain squall. i'm not denying that there might actually be a few signs that you won't want to miss. knowing the difference is the tricky part.

And even if we win, if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from mohawk because they've got all the money! it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!

There is no reason why the profoundest thoughts should not make easy and exciting reading. a profound thought is an exciting thing as exciting as a detective's deductions or hunches. the simpler the words in which a thought is expressed the more stimulating its effect.

I don't get tired, because every time a woman doesn't die or doesn't get beaten or doesn't get raped or doesn't get honor-killed or doesn't get acid-burned, it's a huge victory.

I like grit, i like love and death, i'm tired of irony. ... a lot of good fiction is sentimental. ... the novelist who refuses sentiment refuses the full spectrum of human behavior, and then he just dries up. ... i would rather give full vent to all human loves and disappointments, and take a chance on being corny, than die a smartass.
